Blighted Ovum

I just found out today that I have blighted ovum :( I went in because I had spotting this morning, I am 6 weeks 3 days and they tested my HCG which was 11,000, but the U/S was only showing an empty gestational sac. They are going to test my HCG again on Monday with a follow-up U/S on Friday before they schedule the D&C. I had a bad feeling about this pregnancy from the first time I got my BFP. I thought I was just being paranoid because of my previous loss and tried to remain positive, but maybe deep down I knew something was wrong? Still, my heart is so broken right now. I lost my little boy 5 years ago last Sunday and so its making this news all the more difficult. I am so so sad and just don't know how I am going to get through the next week or so ;(

.•*i'm sorry*•. It's a hard thing to digest and put it into a way to cope with it. You have an additional ultrasound to go to....I kept hope right up until I read the final report myself. I wouldn't believe anyone....even my OB. Now since my OB and I have gone through that together...I do trust him more....I hope this story turns out a positive ending...but of it doesn't...even if you just come here to read....these girls here are amazing. They know how you feel...they understand...I understand. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and keeping you and your LO in my thoughts~

Thank you so much for your support. This is so hard. I go in tomorrow to have my levels tested again. I'm trying to be realistic as I know in my heart this is the end, but of course I have a little bit of hope that they are wrong. I'll keep you updated. Thanks!

Were you from the march 2014 board? I feel like I recognize your screen name. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I just went for my first u/s today and all the saw was the empty gestational sac as well :(. I'll be going through the same process of hcg levels and repeat u/s. I also had a bad feeling about this pregnancy and thought I was being paranoid b/c I know so many women who miscarried their second pregnancy. let us know how it all turns out.

Yes, I was. I left the group though as it made me too sad to get the notifications. I'm sorry you are going through this too :(. It's heartbreaking. I had a bad feeling from the very beginning as well... They re-tested my hcg today & it went up but didn't double. The nurse said that the U/S is the only way to know for sure, but she didn't sound very positive. I go in for my follow-up U/S next Monday, thought it would be Friday as that's what they originally told me. This is going to be a very long week.

I too suffered a blighted ovum last month! My levels were 118,000 at 8 weeks, we went for our second prenatal at 11w6d and she couldn't get a hb on Doppler so she sent me for a scan and we found out there was no baby, sac was empty... It was the most devastating words to hear! I'm so sorry for your loss!!!
